Never letterbox alone is one of the first things that
AtlasQuest teaches you, and I am always careful to stay true to that rule! As a result of that, today was my friend Amber's turn to adventure with me! Today was also my first time using my new compass, too! Amber and I made our way to
Peachtree Ridge Park in Suwanee, Georgia to look for the first two of five letterboxes on the agenda for the day.
When we entered the park it was a beautiful and quiet day with very few children playing. We walked across an open field, eventually finding our way (via my COMPASS!) to a bench and a rock where "
Cool Dude" was hidden. I stamped in right there, but this was my first lesson in the importance of bringing extra supplies--Cool Dude was water damaged! We switched out his bag with my own, and dried him out as well as we could before moving on to our next stamp in PRP.
The next stamp was part of a 15-stamp series entitled "A Year in Pay-Per-View" and included several stamps. After an unsuccessful hunt for the first stamp in the series, Amber and I trekked our way through the brush and debris back to the path to search for #2 in the series, Royal Rumble. First, let me pause and say: This is a gorgeous park. There are birdhouses and feeders throughout, a very long and good quality running trail, and plenty of benches. We
did find "Royal Rumble" despite the difficulties finding its predecessor; it was hiding behind an oak tree on the side of the paved walking path. We stamped in on a nearby bench as some birds tweeted on the feeder overhead.
